How do I effectively use RYZEN? (and for a long time)

[youmanyousef]

So i just spent 5 hours on what shouldve been a mundane task of gathering parts for my cousins birthday. Like i mentioned in another post there esports somewhat and the RYZEN 2200G will do perfectly for a while so I made a build.

Thing is I dont know what to get.

The space he has is not very good. or big. So a mid-tower case is probably out of the question though it could be a possibility.

I was hoping to get a itx build but the only wifi capable and m.2 slot is the b450i (without doing the amd bios thing) but I thought maybe that wont work and I wont be there every time my cousin wants to upgrade. and that small ass case wont do him any good. (elite 110,130 or sg13) and some cards wont fit.

A micro atx case might be a good idea but I just dont know what to buy.

My budget is 500 dollars for the computer (100 for the 1080p monitor)

So you want a Ryzen 2200G, ITX or mATX build for 500 USD in a fairly small case, but with a little room for other parts?

I dont need other parts for now. Upgrading later (the title...)

"Room for future expansion", then.

Good catch on the PSU. There's always a deal on a good PSU, it's just I always seem to miss it when I'm looking to add it to the list, haha.

3000 is really all that's needed, but, obviously, the best RAM available is preferable. Especially for something that'll be running GPU VRAM off the system memory.
